The Goon Show (1950s): Ultimate Goons
151 Episodes of a madcap British radio comedy, starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Seacombe.
Anarchy rules, okay?
Sellers and Milligan basically gang-up on their simple-minded victim, Neddy Seagoon, each week, in a surreal series which obeys no rules and freely subverts all logic in order to get laughs. A zany series, based on crazyness.
Funny voices and off-the-wall sound effects punctuate a plot which has little or no logic, is intentionally unreal, and is interspersed with crazy character-based comedy and crazy puns.
Notes
More than 50 years old: transmitted on various dates between 1951 and 1960, a set of UK radio broadcasts on which the broadcast copyright has now expired (the final broadcasts in the set, in 1960, became free of broadcast copyright after 50 years, in 2010). Accordingly, these recordings are now in the public domain.

So much here to savor! Thanks much! Note that the file identified here as from Series/Season 1 entitled "The Crazy People" is actually the untitled 3rd

episode from Series/Season 2 that aired on Feb. 5, 1952. The script for this episode exists and matches the audio of this file. There are presently no surviving recordings from Series/Season 1.

From the original radio broadcasts I listened to as a child I have remained a devout fan. Whilst I have many of the shows, some are very poor and others
...
are missing. I an hoping that all of these will be better quality and I know there are some 20+ that I don't have, so am looking forward to enjoying these over the coming months.
Jolly well done to the compiler who uploaded them, may you never run out of 'Backstage Brandy'.

This is brilliant. I spent many hours recording Goon Shows onto cassette tapes when they were being broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Commission
...
, back in the 1960s and 70s. There have always been missing episodes, many were obviously considered unsuitable for tender Australian ears. The first on the list, 1985, a good example. Never heard it before. But here they all are !! Thanks.
